The DevOps zone is brought to you in partnership with Sonatype Nexus. The Nexus suite helps scale your DevOps delivery with continuous component intelligence integrated into development tools, including Eclipse, IntelliJ, Jenkins, Bamboo, SonarQube and more. Schedule a demo today.

When building DevOps or continuous delivery practices you can learn a great deal from others. What choices did they make, what practices did they put in place, and how did they connect the dots?

At Sonatype, we pulled together a set of 21 reference architectures for folks building continuous delivery and DevOps practices using Docker. Why? After 3,000 DevOps professionals attended our webinar on “Continuous Integration using Docker” discussing just one reference architecture example, we recognized there was a strong interest in the community to learn more. That’s why we assembled 20 more reference architectures into this collection.

A picture speaks a thousand words, but beyond the images, we also share the details of each DevOps/CD Docker reference architecture. In the bottom right corner of each slide, we share the original blog or presentation source for the image. When one of the images piques your interest, you can then dive deep into the source. Cool, huh?

Think of this set of reference architectures as open source. The slides are free to view, download, and distribute. Share with others if you find them helpful.

Oh, and if you have a Docker reference architecture we should add to the deck, please let us know. We would love to add it to our deck for others to learn from — just like the others we included, you will be sure to get full attribution for your work.
